A word from Sandra, the 'Beauty and the Beast.' costume creator:

Tara is Beauty. She is wearing a yellow tee shirt that had the sleeves cut off and yellow tulle in a 6 inch wide spool was added to the top. the skirt was made with more yellow tulle tied around elastic to make the tutu, added yellow ribbon. Chubz is beast. She is wearing a blue tee shirt that i painted the yellow accents on, one roll of eyelet lace for the cuffs and sewed in rows on the breast. Her head gear was a small hat that I cut a hole for her face, added Brown fur in layers, the horns were from the 2 Tulle cardboard rolls and they had a while plastic circle on each end. I took off one circle, split the cardboard down 3/4 of the way. rolled the end tight. covered in black felt in strips to look like it was ind of spiraled. once felt added i bent the horns while the glue was still wet and held them in place with hairbands until totally dry. then remove hair band. the back ground was a large cardboard sheet and the styrofoam from the tv box. I painted it to look like the ball room. The rose dome and Chip character were done with soda bottles and Styrofoam. The dome was a 2 liter bottle with the top and the bottom cut off. after gluing the rose to a green florist wire and sticking in the Styrofoam i pushed the soda bottle down into the Styrofoam and glued in place. added a ribbon and yellow tulle. Chip character was the top of 2 different 20 oz soda bottles cut off, inverted and glued together then painted to look like Chip, I glued him on top of the dome to hid the hole from cutting off the top of the 2 liter. in the picture of just beast I added a glowing chandelier. This was made from the thick green florist wire with beads glued on to look like the candle holders and candles, Decorated with pearls and gold beads. glued small LED lights to it.
